Opinions of Augustus The Fish

Month: December 2015

One of the best parts of taking on this blog has been, I must admit, the contact I am able to receive from people who can, through this medium, reach out to talk to a fish.So far I have had the postcards which have been featured on this blog and last week I received this email from a young lady named Tilly: Hello Augustus and everyone else!

My name is Tilly and I am 9.I love geology and palaeontology and that is how I got here.My great grandpa kindly signed me up and I am loving your newsletter!In the next newsletter, can you show us around the museum with a few images?Lots of love,Tilly️

To which I replied;

Dear Tilly,Thank you very much for taking the time to email me, I am highly flattered!It is praise-worthy indeed that a young person like you is interested in things like geology and palaeontology. I myself am also highly interested in learning more about the science of things that I see around me. Never stop learning Tilly and never stop being interested in things around you, for that is how wonderful things are discovered!I am extremely glad you are enjoying the newsletter, thank you for your excellent suggestion about a tour of the Museum in pictures. I will personally make sure that it is put in the next newsletter, so keep your eye out for that!Have you been to the Museum yourself? I think you would enjoy it. Unfortunately I have not been able to make the trip up there to see the fossils of my ancestors but I am hoping to soon. All the best Tilly, and don’t forget to continue to enjoy learning all the incredible things there are to learn!Augustus The Fish

Like I said, emails and postcards are the best part of having this blog and I really appreciate those who have been brave enough to reach across the gap separating humans and fish.

However I must note that the adults of the human species have been holding back from this kind of contact, and this makes me very annoyed. This is one of the most important things that has been done between humans and fish and it is being neglected.

I don’t know how many people out there read this blog, but I would like to urge all to reach out and contact me, the representative for all fish to humans. I am sure that all of you have interesting insights that you could share if you were brave enough.

Therefore if you have any comments or questions at all, humorous, serious, curious, controversial, or otherwise, please, drop me a line at;
